After the recent volatility that drove bitcoin to a six-week peak at $76,000 and the subsequent retracement, the asset has calmed at around $74,000.<\/p>\n

Most larger-cap alts are also quite sluggish on a daily scale, but ETH has managed to defend the $2,300 level, while XRP is above $1.50.<\/p>\n

BTC Stands Still at $74K<\/h2>\n

The primary cryptocurrency initiated an impressive leg up last week that culminated on Friday when it touched $74,000 for the second time in the past 10 days. However, the bears were quick to intercept the move and pushed the asset south by almost four grand toward $70,000, especially on Saturday when the US launched another major attack against Iran.<\/p>\n

The asset remained above $70,000 during the weekend, and the bulls returned as the new business week began. They helped bitcoin climb toward $74,000 again, where it faced more resistance but ultimately managed to break through on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

The leg up drove<\/a> BTC to its highest price level since early February at $76,000. Nevertheless, bitcoin couldn\u2019t keep rising and dipped<\/a> to $73,500 later that day. The past 18 hours or so have been less eventful, as BTC has remained sideways at around $74,000, where it currently trades as well.<\/p>\n

Its market cap stands at $1.480 trillion, while its dominance over the alts on CG is flat at 56.7%.<\/p>\n

The total crypto market cap continues to sit above $2.6 trillion on CG.<\/p>\n
